CNBC reports that bank’s derivatives flow team netted $200 million as VIX posted historic February spikeTraders at Goldman had a good day on VIX bets. Earlier this year, Goldman Sachs booked a roughly $200 million gain in one day, partly on bets that a long-dormant gauge of volatility would surge, ending a protracted period of placidity on Wall Street. The prominent investment bank’s trading desk centered on derivative flows produced the big daily return as a so-called market maker rather than buying the assets for its own account, CNBC reported on Wednesday.

U.S. President Donald Trump's move to cancel a planned June meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un sent global share markets sharply lower on Thursday before they regained some footing, while auto stocks continued to decline on tariff fears. Trump, in a letter to North Korea released by the White House, called off the June 12 summit, citing "tremendous anger and open hostility" in a recent statement by the East Asian country.

U.S. stock benchmarks traded lower in early Thursday action after President Donald Trump canceled a planned meeting with North Korea. In a letter released by the White House, Trump told North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that the summit "will not take place." The president added that "tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement," was behind the cancellation. In the letter Trump said "you talk about your nuclear capabilities, but ours are so massive and powerful that I pray to God they will never have to be used." The Dow Jones Industrial Average , most recently, was off 170 points, or 0.7%, at 24,714, the S&P 500 index sank 0.5% at 2,720, while the Nasdaq Composite Index retreated by 0.4% at 7,395.

In a classic Donald Trump move, the president wrote a letter to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to cancel their planned meeting in Singapore next month. Trump wrote, “Sadly, based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement, I feel it would be inappropriate, at this time, to have this long-planned meeting.” This meeting was seen as an unprecedented attempt to dissolve tensions between the United States and North Korea, which could have reduced geopolitical risks. The SPDR Gold Shares ETF (GLD), which tracks physical gold, on the other hand, was trading up 1.03%.

U.S. stocks erased early losses and closed higher Wednesday after minutes from the Federal Reserve’s latest meeting showed the central bank plans to stay on a gradual path of rate increases even if inflation meets its target.
